The '''Siberian rubythroat''' ('''''Calliope calliope''''') is a small [[passerine]] [[bird]] [[Species description|first described]] by [[Peter Simon Pallas]] in 1776. It was formerly classed as a member of the [[Thrush (bird)|thrush]] family, Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an [[Old World flycatcher]] of the family Muscicapidae.<ref>{{cite book|title=A Guide to the Birds of Thailand|author1=Lekagul, Boonsong|author2=Round, Philip D.|author3=Wongkalisn, Mongkol|author4=Komolphalin, Kamol|author5=King, Ben}}</ref> The Siberian rubythroat and similar small European species are often called [[chat (bird)|chat]]s.

It is a [[bird migration|migratory]] [[insectivore|insectivorous]] species breeding in mixed [[conifer]]ous forests with undergrowth in [[Siberia]].  It nests near the ground. It winters in [[Thailand]], [[India]], [[Indonesia]] and [[Bangladesh]] (See wintering range map). It is an extremely rare vagrant to [[Western Europe]], having occurred on a very few occasions as far west as [[United Kingdom|Britain]]. It is also an extremely rare vagrant to the [[Aleutian Islands]], most notably on [[Attu Island]].<ref name="BOU">{{cite web|title=The British List|url=http://www.bou.org.uk/british-list/category-a-b-c-species/|publisher=[[British Ornithologists' Union]]|access-date=24 September 2010}}</ref>

This species is slightly larger than the [[European robin]]. It is plain brown above except for the distinctive black tail with red side patches. It has a strong white [[supercilium]]. The male has a red throat edged with a narrow black and then a broad white border. Females lack the brightly coloured throat and borders. The male has a song similar to a harder version of the [[garden warbler]].

The Siberian rubythroat was previously placed in the [[genus]] ''[[Luscinia]]''. A large [[molecular phylogenetic]] study published in 2010 found that ''Luscinia'' was not [[monophyletic]]. The genus was therefore split and several species including the Siberian rubythroat as the [[type species]] were moved to the reinstated genus ''[[Calliope (genus)|Calliope]]''.<ref>{{cite journal | last1=Sangster  | first1=G. | last2=Alström| first2=P. | last3=Forsmark | first3=E. | last4=Olsson | first4=U. | year=2010 | title=Multi-locus phylogenetic analysis of Old World chats and flycatchers reveals extensive paraphyly at family, subfamily and genus level (Aves: Muscicapidae) | journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution | volume=57 | issue=1 | pages=380–392 | doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2010.07.008 | pmid=20656044}}</ref><ref name=ioc>{{cite web| editor1-last=Gill | editor1-first=Frank | editor2-last=Donsker | editor2-first=David | year=2016 | title=Chats, Old World flycatchers | work=World Bird List Version 6.2 | url=http://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/chats/ | publisher=International Ornithologists' Union| access-date=20 May 2016 }}</ref> [[Calliope]], from classical Greek meaning "beautiful-voiced", was one of the [[muse]]s in [[Greek mythology]] and presided over eloquence and [[heroic poetry]].<ref>{{cite book | last= Jobling | first= James A. | year= 2010| title= The Helm Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names | url= https://archive.org/details/Helm_Dictionary_of_Scientific_Bird_Names_by_James_A._Jobling | publisher=Christopher Helm | location = London, United Kingdom | isbn = 978-1-4081-2501-4 | page=[https://archive.org/details/Helm_Dictionary_of_Scientific_Bird_Names_by_James_A._Jobling/page/n85 85] }}</ref>
